Economic Opportunity

"I learned that the field of social work is not just about helping clients or working with them one-on-one. There are often little tedious projects to make the job faster and more efficient that need to be done. I will use this knowledge to improve my career or education in that I will be more aware of the expectations of the job I may be going in to."
